GDM could default to VT7 if we really wanted to, but why should it
except for tradition?

I think it's easier for users to start counting at 1 rather than 7.
And it also matches how most other distros work now. (Debian switched
gdm3 to vt1 before Ubuntu did.)

lightdm could default to VT1 too.

loginctl list-sessions
# Find the session you are using. If the session is named '2', run
loginctl unlock-session 2

That works with gdm3, but it didn't seem to work when I tried with
unity-greeter on lightdm.

Thanks,
